*105By the Court. —

Lumpkin, J.

delivering the opinion.

[1.] We think the Court was right in holding Smith liable upon the garnishment. This was a contract of bailment merely, evidenced by the receipt; and the baifor* having been garnisheed before the cotton was sold by the bailee^" he became responsible to the creditor of Hardwick upon the summons, and delivered over the property in his own wrong.

Let the judgment be affirmed.
